This edge release moves Linkerd's bundled Prometheus into an add-on. This makes
the Linkerd Prometheus more configurable, gives it a separate upgrade lifecycle
from the rest of the control plane, and will allow users to disable the bundled
Prometheus instance. In addition, this release includes fixes for several
issues, including a regression where the proxy would fail to report OpenCensus
spans.

* Prometheus is now an optional add-on, enabled by default
* Custom tolerations can now be specified for control plane resources when
  installing with Helm (thanks @DesmondH0!)
* Evicted data plane pods are no longer considered to be failed by `linkerd
  check --proxy`, fixing an issue where the check would be retried indefinitely
  as long as evicted pods are present
* Fixed a regression where proxy spans were not reported to OpenCensus
* Fixed a bug where the proxy injector would fail to render skipped port lists
  when installed with Helm
* Internal improvements to the proxy for lower latencies under high concurrency
* Thanks to @Hellcatlk and @surajssd for adding new unit tests and spelling
  fixes!
